Advanced Deep Space Communications Methods

-- | April 12, 2015

Question: I am seeking recommendations for learning about advanced deep space communication methods. I visited several libraries and found little about how we presently and are preparing for the future of super fast and high speed communication approaches, including encryption, packet integrity, theories on limits and methods, and organizations now involved in developing the technologies.  Please help. Thanks so much.  — Lyndon

Answer: Although it is now a bit dated, the proceedings from a conference on Advanced Methods for Satellite and Deep Space Communications from 1992 might have some useful information on this subject.  Also, the book Satellite Communication Engineering (second edition) might be of use.  These two references are about all I could find on this subject.  Hope this helps.
